SinceΒ Greg ByrneΒ committed about $600,000 annually to pay for a morning brunch for Arizona athletes, the school has served 18,300 brunches since school began. Byrne even included the cheerleaders in the plan (they consumed 1,327 meals). Hereβs how to get a grip on what it costs to operate a full athletic department: The UAβs menβs and womenβs track and field teams have eaten 4,582 brunches since school started. Thatβs part of the reason why the Pac-12 football championship game is being played at Santa Claraβs Levi Stadium and not at an on-campus site: The revenue from that contract helps to pay for those brunches.
